GREEN HILLS WOMEN’S SHELTER
Volunteers Are Needed To Help With Expansion The Green Hills Women’s Shelter is looking for a few good volunteers. With the shelter moving to a new 8,500square-foot building late next month, additional help will be needed to assist in providing various services to victims of domestic and sexual abuse who will be using the facility. Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Sager said there are many jobs with which individuals can assist, ranging from answering the telephone (including the shelter’s 24-hour hotline) and answering mail to sharing interests and skills such as financial literacy and cooking. Sorting donations, writing thank you notes and providing in-kind services such as car repairs, plumbing, lawn care, snow
removal, etc. are also other areas in which individuals can assist. “This will be a big building we have to maintain and we will have plenty of jobs for volunteers to do,” Ms. Sager said. The new facility will offer space to house up to 21 adults and children, doubling the capacity size of the current building. There will also be both residential and educational wings, providing living space as well as rooms for classes, recreation and private counseling. An outside area will provide space for a garden as well as a kennel to house pets of shelter residents. “We really need people who will be able to be in various parts of the building and grounds

throughout the day, helping with whatever happens to be going on,” Ms. Sager said. Ms. Sager went on to say that volunteers can choose the amount of time they wish to spend at the shelter, adding that help is needed any time throughout the day. “You can come in daily, once a week, once a month, whatever works for that individual,” Ms. Sager noted. “We appreciate any time someone can come in and help.” To become a volunteer, individuals must be at least 18 years of age. There is an application process to be completed, which can be found on the shelter website, www.greenhillswomensshelter.net. Volunteers will also be required
to pass a background check through the Missouri Criminal Record Check and Family Care Registry (registration information also on the shelter website). Once volunteers are approved, there will be 48 hours of training required, which will include information in care training as well as domestic and sexual violence training. Monthly two-hour trainings/team meetings are also required for all volunteers. For more information about the volunteer program as well as to learn about volunteer opportunities, persons can go to the shelter website or contact Ms. Sager at the shelter, 359-3297. The shelter also has a Facebook page.

Trenton Girls 57, Lafayette 18
UNSTOPPABLE

Not one, not two, not three defenders could stop Maci Moore, who scored a career-high 30 points on Saturday in Trenton’s 57-18 victory over St. Joseph Lafayette. Moore also had nine rebounds in the win.
Moore Hammers Lafayette, Leads Trenton With 30-Point Night Maci Moore has scored a lot of points for having a high school career that has bridged just a year and a half. On Saturday, Dec. 22 at North Central Missouri College’s Holiday Hoops, Moore established a new high-water mark for her career, pouring in 30 points as the Trenton High School girls basketball team throttled St. Joseph Lafayette 57-18. Moore dropped in the first two points of the game and drew a foul, going to the line to complete a three-point play just seven seconds into the contest. That would be the theme all night as Lafayette struggled to find an answer for the sophomore forward. “I was just working to get open, get in front of (Lafayette) and put it up,” Moore said of her big night. “I could tell that Ainsley (Tolson) and Mykah (Hurley) were looking for me. When they would drive they would just pass it to me.” Moore finished the first quarter with 12 points as Trenton took a 20-0 lead out of the gate and led 20-2 after Lafayette got on the board with a shot at the buzzer at the end of the opening frame. The Bulldogs continued to pile up points in the second quarter, leading 34-4 at the break. “Our offense gets talked
about a lot because we have so many different weapons that can score on a given night,” Trenton Head Coach Brian Upton said. “We work a lot in practice on defense, though and the intensity that we come out with. I didn’t have a real good scouting report on Lafayette, but we just came out knowing that we needed to talk on picks and the girls had the right intensity, the right energy level. You couple that with some very athletic girls that have a good basketball IQ and the next thing you know, you are shooting passing lanes and getting tips. I thought we were just very active on defense and that’s what good teams do. Even teams that score a whole bunch of points, if they are going to have a successful season, it all starts on the defensive end of the court.” Trenton was cruising in the second half as the Bulldogs led 49-14 through three quarters. Moore scored her 30th point of the game on a free throw midway through the final quarter of play and was subbed out, ending her night. Trenton’s underclassmen took the game to conclusion as the Bulldogs picked up the 39-point victory. Moore’s 30 led Trenton. She also added nine rebounds. “Maci is just an extreme talent; you should see the stuff she does in practice,” Upton
said. “Tonight we were just trying to spread the floor and get to the basket. (Lafayette) plays a lot of sagging man and it almost resembles a zone because everyone is in the lane. So we were going to try to draw the defense out and dump it to Maci or Sidney (Lynch) or whoever happened to be down there. Maci was the answer. I think they even lost her a couple of times, she was so wide open. She is a great finisher around the basket, she is a great kid and she is a great teammate. She is very coachable. When you have a player who has a great work ethic and you combine that with someone who has gifted hands, gifted feet and great touch around the basket, it makes for a great player.” Behind Moore, Trenton got nine points and seven assists from Ainsley Tolson and eight points, four assists and five steals from Mykah Hurley. Salem Croy had four points and four assists and Taylor Richman, Lexi Whitaker and Gracyn Rongey all had two points each to round out the Trenton total. Sidney Lynch pulled down seven rebounds in the win. With the win, Trenton improved to 10-0 overall on the season. TRENTON BOYS The Trenton boys had a

tougher go than the girls, falling 38-34 to Green City earlier in the day. The Bulldog defense continued to be one of the strongest parts of Trenton’s game, but Green City’s Devin Field did just enough to put the Gophers on his back and carry them past Trenton. Fields scored 20 of Green City’s 38 points and Trenton’s offense sputtered once again leaving the Bulldogs with a four-point loss. “We played great defense and rebounded well,” Trenton Head Coach Jeremy Austin said. “We just couldn’t score. It was a tough loss and we have to bounce back. I am very confident that’s exactly what we will do.” Trenton was led by Max McNabb, who had 10 points and three steals. Carson Radcliff added seven points and five assists and Dylan Harris had seven points and three assists. Dalton Burchett had five points, Isaac Harris had three points and Carson Burchett scored two to go with five rebounds. With the loss, the Trenton boys fell to 4-6 overall on the season. UP NEXT Both Trenton teams return to the court after Christmas break, playing host to Maysville in Grand River Conference action on Friday, Jan. 4. The night begins at 5 o’clock with the girls and boys junior varsity teams each playing one half ahead of the varsity doubleheader, which begins at 6 o’clock.

Week 17
Chiefs’ Kelce In A Battle For Best Season Ever By A TE SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Getting a Twitter follow from Travis Kelce was one of the major accomplishments this season for San Francisco 49ers second-year tight end George Kittle. Now heading into the final game of the season, Kittle is in a race with Kelce for the most productive season ever for a tight end. Kelce goes into Kansas City's season finale against Oakland with 1,274 yards receiving, the fourth-most ever for a tight end. He needs 54 yards against the Raiders to break the mark set by New England's Rob Gronkowski in 2011. But Kelce might need more than that to hold off Kittle, who goes into San Francisco's finale against the Los Angeles Rams with 1,228 yards on the season and a chance to pass not only Gronkowski but also Kelce with a big game. Kelce and Kittle have put up their huge numbers this season in very different ways. Kelce is more a downfield threat, with his average catch coming 7.5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, a number comparable to some of the most productive receivers in the league like An-
tonio Brown and Michael Thomas. Kittle does most of his work after the catch, gaining an average of 9.8 yards after making the catch — a number surpassed only by four running backs who make their average catch in the backfield. Kittle has 775 yards in all after the catch, trailing only Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey with 824. The only other players since at least 2010 with more yards after the catch in a season are Le'Veon Bell (816 in 2014) and Matt Forte (788 in 2014). "The thing he is doing better, that I can say he has done better than any tight end I have had, is what he is doing after the catch," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "He does a good job beating man coverage, and does a good job in his routes and does a great job blocking. But when that ball is in the air, the play is just starting. He is trying to catch it. He runs angry and runs confidently, that he expects to score on every look." Here's a look inside some more interesting numbers heading into Week 17: SPLENDID START: Cleveland's Baker Mayfield
heads into the final week with 24 TD passes, the second-most ever for a rookie. Mayfield needs three TD passes this week to break the record set by Peyton Manning in 1998. RECORD RECEPTIONS: McCaffrey and Philadelphia tight end Zach Ertz have already set receiving records. McCaffrey's 106 receptions this season are the most ever by a running back, beating the mark of 102 for Forte in 2014. McCaffrey has also joined Forte and Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson (2003) as the only players with at least 1,000 yards rushing and 100 catches in a single season. Ertz has 113 catches already this season, breaking the record of 110 set by Jason Witten in 2012. RUN TO DAYLIGHT: Running the ball has never been easier in the NFL, with the average carry going for 4.42 yards per attempt. That would be the highest mark for a season in the NFL since at least 1940. The previous high was 4.29 ypc in 2011. This season is also on pace for the fewest rush attempts per game with just 25.9, a tick below the 26.0 mark set in 2016.
DOMINANT PATS: Few teams have ever had a run as dominant as the one by the New England Patriots under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots won their 10th straight AFC East title, setting a record for most consecutive playoff berths, and have tied San Francisco (1983-98) for the most consecutive 10-win seasons with 16. New England has 199 wins the past 16 years, 35 more than the second-place Steelers. That gap is bigger than the difference between Pittsburgh and 16th-place Cincinnati with 131. UNDRAFTED GEM: Denver running back Phillip Lindsay passed the 1,000-yard rushing mark last week, join-
ing Dominic Rhodes and LaGarrette Blount as the only undrafted rookies to top 1,000 in a season in the Super Bowl era. Lindsay has 1,037 yards on the season but will end up 68 yards shy of breaking Rhodes' record set in 2001 for Indianapolis after being sidelined by a wrist injury in Week 16. TAKE IT AWAY: The 49ers are on pace for the worst season when it comes to takeaways in NFL history. The Niners have just seven takeaways on the season. The record for the fewest is 11, last done by Chicago in 2016. RETURN TO SENDER: Few plays are as exhilarating as a punt or kick returned for a touchdown. Unfortunately, it's almost never been harder to do
that. Heading into the final weekend of the season, there have been just 12 return TDs on kicks or punts, tied for the fewest in a 16-game season with 12 in 1979. There have been seven punt return TDs and five on kicks this season. As recently as 2007, when kickoffs came from the 30yard line instead of the 35, there were 42 return touchdowns across the league. THIRD DOWN D: The Bengals have allowed opponents to convert half of their third-down chances into first downs. That's the worst mark since at last 1991. The worst team on record was the 1995 Cleveland Browns, who allowed a 49.6 percent conversion rate.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
Happy New Year It’s hard to believe it’s already the end of the year. They say as you get older time goes by faster and I really believe it’s true. Time seems to go by quickly now and I’m not getting any younger. ##### The new Green Hills Women’s Shelter, located off Harris Avenue in south Trenton, is almost finished and ready for occupancy. The new shelter will help house more clients who need their services and allow for a more efficient operation than their current location. Wendell Lenhart Funding for the new facility came in several forms and one of them is still available to area residents and taxpayers. The 2018 Domestic Violence Tax Credits are available for purchase. There is $40,000 available and credits can be purchased in varying amounts, starting at $100 minimum purchase. The credits offer a 50 percent reduction on the purchaser’s Missouri state tax income tax return, which will be due in April. More information can be obtained from shelter program director Tammy Taylor at 359-3297 or ttaylor@ghwshelter.org, or from Dave Bain at 654-0679. ##### Best Christmas sign I saw this season: Dear Santa, define naughty. ##### A friend emailed me some paraprosdokians recently. Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected. I thought I would share some with you: • Where there’s a will, I want to be in it. • Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. • I could agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong. • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. • To steal ideas from someone is plagiarism, to steal from many is called research. • I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. • I am not arguing with you, I am explaining why you are wrong. • I used to respect my elders but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find them now. • Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and still think they look sexy. • Behind every successful man is a woman. Behind the fall of every successful man is usually another woman. • A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory. • I used to be indecisive, now I’m not so sure.
What Others Are Saying.... Don’t Wait On Judge Try as they might, opponents just can’t seem to kill it.
Guest Editorials The ACA, also known as Obamacare, took another hit this month when a federal judge ruled the health care law was unconstitutional. Judge Reed O’Connor declared the individual mandate — a controversial aspect of expanded health coverage — was no longer legal because Congress repealed its financial penalty. This adds a new element of uncertainty, although the Affordable Care Act remains in effect as the debate rages on in both the courts and in Congress. The judge’s ruling may not hold up, but it addresses an issue at the core of the health care law. To cover pre-existing conditions, which is required under the ACA, insurers need to spread the risk with a large pool of healthy enrollees. The ACA attempted to do this with mandated coverage and other provisions, such as restrictions on skimpier policies that would appeal to younger people who don’t need as much medical care. Critics of the ACA opposed the individual mandate as a government overreach. They also believed that plan restrictions left consumers with too few choices and didn’t do enough to control costs.
Long term, policymakers have to balance these concerns, which are justified, with new political realities. Polls show just over 50 percent of the public supports Obamacare, but support for coverage of pre-existing conditions swells to 80 percent. This means the public now believes the sick are entitled to health coverage, in the same way that the poor, disabled and elderly are insured through Medicare and Medicaid. Some on the left have suggested Medicare for all as a solution. With an estimated 100 million people having some sort of pre-existing condition, this should be resisted as a nothing more than a front for governmentrun health care. What, then, is the alternative? A market-based system? That starts to sound a lot like the ACA. Politicians on the right and left celebrated this month’s ruling on Obamacare: Republicans because they think it signals the law’s demise and Democrats because it allows them to continue hammering their opponents on pre-existing conditions and pursuing unrealistic dreams of government-run health care. Both sides need to cool it. The Supreme Court’s “severability” doctrine calls for restraint in declaring an entire law illegal because one part of it is. This means Obamacare is likely to wind up in the lap of a divided Congress that can’t even keep the government running right now. — St. Joseph News-Press
New Farm Bill Looks Positive For Missouri Farmers by Eric Bohl, Director of Public Affairs Missouri Farm Bureau
Just in time for the new year, Congressional Republicans and Democrats ironed out their differences and agreed upon a new farm bill. Unlike some farm bills in years past, the 2018 version drew broad bipartisan support, passing the Senate 87-13 and the House 369-47. Farm bills typically are only renewed every five years, making each one incredibly important for the agricultural community. In the five years since the last farm bill, net farm income has dropped nearly 50 percent – the largest drop since the Great Depression. The downturn in the farm economy, coupled with uncertainty surrounding international trade made one thing clear: getting this year’s farm bill right was
even more critical than normal. Most agricultural policy professionals view the 2018 farm bill as more of an “evolutionary” bill than a “revolutionary” one. The 2014 farm bill made dramatic changes to the structure of the farm safety net, many of which took several years to settle in and become well-understood. With the 2014 policy changes fairly fresh, Congress did not feel that a wholesale rewriting of farm policy was warranted this time around. The new bill instead focuses more on refining the 2014 provisions than creating new law. Some of the most important takeaways from the legislation are the things that stay the same. The crop insurance program will remain in place and
continue to protect farmers in the event of loss. The Price Loss Coverage and Agriculture Risk Coverage (programs will be updated and allow producers more flexibility in deciding which one to participate in. Dairy and cotton provisions are maintained and strengthened to help more producers. Conservation programs are also strengthened in this farm bill. Congress shifted more emphasis to cost-share and incentive-based programs to help farmers improve their soil, water and natural resources. Programs are streamlined and better-coordinated so as to make it as easy as possible to participate in conservation practices. In addition, safeguards were put in place to
ensure that farmers are not competing with government payments in order to access land. Many Americans do not realize that over three-fourths of the farm bill actually funds nutrition programs. Most notable is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. House Republicans had sought to tighten eligibility for the program to encourage able-bodied adults to work in order to participate. After staunch opposition by Congressional Democrats, the final compromise bill provided flexibility for USDA to make changes, but did not add work requirements to the program. The package included numerous smaller provisions, including
one championed by Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler from Missouri. Her language sets a minimum download and upload speed requirement for any USDA-funded broadband projects. This will prevent taxpayer dollars from being wasted on outdated and inadequate technologies. All members of the Missouri Congressional delegation voted in favor of the bill. Congresswoman Hartzler was unable to vote due to a death in the family, but she served as Missouri’s lone representative on the House Agriculture Committee and was instrumental in crafting the final bill. Missouri Farm Bureau supported final passage of the farm bill.

Voters headed to the polls for the 2018 Primary Election, which saw Phillip Ray defeat incumbent Rick Hull and Mark Moore for the Republican nomination for Grundy County presiding commissioner in the only local con-
tested race. There was no candidate on the Democrat side and Ray was set to take office on Jan. 1, 2019. The insurance company representing Grundy County in a wrongful death lawsuit involving the death of Brian Mock agreed to a settlement in the case. Mr. Mock died Sept. 26, 2014 while in the Grundy County Detention Center and his daughters, Brianna Rose King and Jade Mock, filed the suit in August 2017. Terms of the settlement were not made public. Barry and Peggy Boulware and their dog, Webster, were featured in a story in the Republican-Times focusing on their children’s book, “The Big Adventures of Webster and Molly.� The first-ever Bright Futures Trenton Community Back to School event was held and was a huge success.

There was a new face at the North 65 Center, where Karen Otto was named the new administrator of the center, which serves senior citizens. Classes got under way in area schools, with enrollment numbers mixed. The Trenton R-9 District saw an increase of 26 students over the first day of the 2017-2018 school year, while Laredo R-7 was down four students, Pleasant View R-6 was up three students, Spickard R-2 was up three, Princeton was down 22, Harrison County R-4 was up 10 and Newtown-Harris was down 13 students. The Shawn Kralicek family of Trenton was honored at the Missouri State Fair as the 2018 Grundy County Farm Family. The family includes Shawn and Tracy Kralicek and their son, Matthew. Saint Luke’s Health System announced that Hedrick Medical Center CEO Steve Schieber would also assume interim leadership of Wright Memorial Hospital at Trenton. The change was made to streamline leadership of the two facilities and consolidate management of Saint Luke’s northern Missouri marketing.

Enrollment Deadlines The Initial Enrollment Period to sign up for Medicare Part A begins three months before your 65th birthday month, includes your birthday month, and covers the subsequent three months. For a person turning 65 on June 15th, the Initial Enrollment Period would start on March 1st and go through September 30th. Those wishing to add Medigap supplemental coverage should sign up within a six-month open enrollment period that begins on the first day of the first month that a person is both 65 years old and enrolled in Medicare Part B. Those turning 65 on June 15th and enrolled in Medicare Part B as of September 15th will have a Medigap open enrollment that runs from October 1st to March 31st. Although most retirees enroll in Medicare at age 65, if you're still working, you have more options to consider for quality health care coverage. There's a lot to keep track of: enrollment deadlines, health care coverage options, and possible penalties to avoid. But with some planning and homework, you can avoid the common pitfalls if you continue to work beyond age 65.

Tips For Keeping Your Holiday Plants All Year That forlorn-looking, leftover plant from a bright holiday season can burst with merry blooms again if given tender, loving care. “The care given a poinsettia following the holiday season largely will dictate whether or not the plant lives to see another Christmas,� said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. “Most avid gardeners cannot bear the thought of discarding a healthy plant. Thus, this is the time of the year when many poinsettias find their way from a prominent location in the home to a sunny window.� Re-blooming a poinsettia the following Christmas is not easy, but it is interesting and rewarding, Trinklein said. “If you are up to the challenge, then take good care of your plant throughout the winter by keeping it in a bright window. The plant probably will not make much active growth, therefore fertilize it sparingly.� After the danger of frost has past, move the plant, with pot, outdoors to a well-lit location. Water and fertilize the plant throughout the spring and summer. Once outdoors, the plant should make significant growth and exceed what is an attractive plant-to-pot ratio, Trinklein said. When this happens, trim the plant severely—6 to 8 inches—to make it more compact. Do this around Labor Day and move the plant indoors.
Poinsettias are short-day plants that bloom only when receiving about 13 hours of uninterrupted darkness each day. In the Midwest, that critical day length occurs about Sept. 25. This triggers the flowering response, which in turn leads to the formation of the colorful bracts. Carry out the following regimen in the home to force it to flower: In late September, set the poinsettia in a dark closet every evening at sunset and remove it the following morning after sunrise. Alternatively, place a lightproof hood or cover over the plant each day at dusk and remove it the next morning. This practice can be discontinued when color development of the bracts is well underway, Trinklein said. Don’t be discouraged if your yearlong effort does not produce a plant as beautiful as it was the year before, he said. “Even the best conditions indoors provide considerably less light than the greenhouse the plant was produced in originally. However, it is worth the effort to see the phenomenon of leaves turning into colorful bracts at least one time by reblooming a poinsettia.� More information about poinsettia care is available in the MU Extension guide “Care of Flowering Potted Plants� (G6511) at http://extension. missouri.edu/p/G6511#Poinsettia.

WINTER MEETINGS GIVE FARMERS NEEDED UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION Winter ‘tis time for farmers to meet. One after another, farm events stack up. There are MU Extension events, farm organization meetings and heifer sales. Now, the Governor’s Conference for Agriculture is back. An old assumption holds that jobs are done down on the farm. That means time to go away for a couple of days. Meetings provide new knowledge to keep up with changing times, as farming grows more complex. Supposedly harvests are done with grain in the bin. Cattle still graze fall stockpiled grass with less hay feeding. Those might not happen this year. I was shocked to see soybeans still in the field, unharvested. Snow hid ground between the rows. I’d not seen that before. I saw late harvests on a trek across North Missouri going to winter meetings. Climate and tradition no longer match. What’s askew? Before Christmas came a great MJ Crop Management Conference. It’s a highlight that grows better, I think. I was pleased to hear at lunch the last day advisors say “This is the best conference yet.� This meeting for certified crop advisors now welcomes
farmers. Advisors pay to attend to update their certificates. They go home to spread the latest Extension recommendations. The shift is to farmers who learned of the meeting. Now farmers pay a discounted rate to come to Columbia to get the latest word. At the start, I asked a farmer about the cost. He said, “If I don’t learn enough to grow 10 more bushels of soybeans, I’m at the wrong meeting.� He knew learning has value. This year, soybeans were a major part of Scott Brown’s economic talk. He told of tariffs and their impact on Missouri farms. Missouri is hit hardest by China’s shift. Their leaders knew how to hurt those who voted big time for Trump. Scott’s money tip was to not fail to sign up by Jan. 15 at FSA for the federal tariff aid. It’s not enough to offset lost trade, but better than no payment. Kevin Bradley, MU weed scientist, leads program planning for the conference. So, his tips on weed control and keeping weed killers at home are essential. I hope more farmers come to future conferences. That meeting was for crops. Next up are cattle. The ShowMe-Select annual meeting
comes to Columbia, Jan. 4. This free add-on starts Missouri Cattlemen’s Association meeting. In the half-day head start, MU beef specialists will teach. SMS farmers share their wisdom along with their veterinarians who tell of their support. MCA can attend. This should do for cow owners what crop conference does for corn, bean and wheat growers. There are many more meetings. The governor’s conference is back, Jan 10-12, at Tan-Tar-A, Lake of the Ozarks. I missed it when not held a couple of years. We learn policy there. Cattle farmers learned that Show-Me-Select heifer sales are Extension meetings. Attend a sale to learn the value of better management and genetics. The visual aids are live heifers. They are amazing. But best there’s a free catalog giving data that teaches genetics and reproduction. Words add value. High prices paid by return buyers add to lessons. Spring heifer sale dates for 2019 aren’t set yet. Later, search the web for “AgEBB Show-Me-Select.� Sales go from April to June for fall calvers. These dates tangle with crop work, but are worth it for beef farmers. They’re free, if you don’t take home a trailer load of heifers. The farming education needs never end. The old saying “I learned from Grandpa� doesn’t work now. Keep in touch at duanedailey7@gmail.com or #AgNewsDailey on Twitter.
2018 Weather Anything But “Near Normal� Do the math on temperatures and rainfall for all of 2018. On average, you get “near normal,� says Pat Guinan, University of Missouri Extension climatologist. “Weather was anything but that,� Guinan adds. Record-setting numbers hide in an average. For starters, look at the “non-spring� of 2018. April was the second coldest on record going back to 1895. That was followed by the hottest May on record. That reaches back 124 years. There’s more. June was eighth hottest. June heat built on top of the May record to become the hottest MayJune combination on record. Hang on for more extremes. The record-setting early blizzard warnings in November came later. Late spring extremes came from a stubborn high-pressure ridge over the Midwest. It was persistent and warm. Many locations were above normal
every day of May. This beat the prior record set in 1962. Farmers faced many problems all year from planting to harvest. What started as too cold to plant and then too warm and dry became too wet to harvest. Soybeans were stranded in snowcovered fields. A spring planting season also needs rainfall. The 2018 spring continued from an abnormally dry ending to 2017. Those previous September rains were 3 inches below normal. September-to-January rains were 57 percent of normal. That was the driest similar period in more than 40 years, Guinan said. In May, the St. Joseph airport recorded 23 inches of rain from May 2017 through May 2018. Their normal is 41 inches. The shortage of rain, and lack of subsoil moisture, led right into that hot 2018 heat. Heat made water shortages
worse. Lack of water and high heat hit grass farmers hard. That stopped forage growth of grass and hay for livestock herds. Missouri is No. 2 in cow numbers in the nation. Cows normally grazing fall pastures were fed winter hay early. Unlike many droughts, this one seemed to make Missouri the bull’seye. “The largest precipitation deficits in the central United States built up in Missouri,� Guinan said. Not only soil moisture suffered, stock water ran short. Farmers were hauling water, a decades-old memory. For crop farmers the cold April delayed planting. Early-planted corn and soybeans emerged late. But warm weather hastened crop maturity, leading to an early start at harvest. Then another flip came. November became the fourth coldest on record. Go back to 1976 for comparison. This
year, many locations across northern Missouri recorded single-digit minimum temperatures. When precipitation returned, it included unfamiliar early snow. That became one of the snowiest Novembers in decades. Five separate snow events hit the state. Snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches were common in the northern two-thirds of the state. The biggest snow event was a highly unusual blizzard after Thanksgiving. Heavy snows came with high winds. Kansas City International Airport recorded a wind gust of 55 mph. The bright report is less drought as subsoil moisture gains. There is still time for December to finish with surprises. Guinan reports on the weather that occurred. He gives no guesstimates on a white Christmas. He continues to be amazed at what happened in 2018.

Agroforestry Symposium To Be Held Jan. 30-31 The 10th annual University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry Symposium focuses on entrepreneurship and research. The event will be Jan. 3031, 2019, at the Bond Life Sciences Center on the MU campus. The event kicks off with a welcome from MU Vice Chancellor for Research, Graduate Studies and Economic Development Mark McIntosh. Rodolphe Barrangou of North Carolina State University speaks on “The CRISPR Craze: Entrepreneurship Lessons From a Disruptive Technology.� Michael Gold, interim director of the MU Center for Agroforestry, and Christopher Daubert, dean of the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, introduce the Wednesday morning session. Kelly Sexton of the University of Michigan talks about “Universities as Drivers of Economic Growth: The Transformative Power of Research and Technology Commercialization.� University of Pretoria plant scientist Namrita Lall shares information on “Medicinal Plants for a Graceful Skin: Bioprospecting and Natural Products Development.� MU associate research professor Chung-Ho Lin gives highlights of MU’s “Research Innovations and Entrepreneurial Development.� Katie Thompson, co-founder of Elemental Enzymes, talks about her company. Jaya Ghosh, assistant program director of MU’s Coulter Translational Partnership Program, leads a panel discussion on “Fostering Translation of Research and Entrepreneurship at MU.� “The Role of an Incubator in Entrepreneurial Development� will be the topic of a presentation by Bill Turpin, CEO of the Missouri Innovation Center and MU interim associate vice chancellor for economic development. A reception, poster session and demonstrations wrap up the event. Register to attend at goo.gl/iywnii. Join the livestream at goo.gl/qtzbZa. The MU Center for Agroforestry, established in 1998, is one of the world’s leading centers contributing to the science underlying agroforestry practices. Learn more at www.centerforagroforestry.org. the other disciplines of our Ag team (livestock, agriculture business, horticulture and ag engineering) may give updates as well. If you want to obtain or renew your private pesticide applicator’s license, you must own a copy of the book, “Private Pesticide Applicator Reference Manual.� The book costs $12, and is available from University of Missouri Extension. The book will be available for sale at the ag update meetings. If you already own a copy, you must bring it to the meeting and show it when renewing your license. Our agronomist cannot sign your application without seeing your book in hand. At the time of this writing, the schedules for all the meetings have not been finalized, although many have been. But I wanted to call these meetings to your attention, so you can be watching for one in your county. Ag updates are held from January into early March. Be sure to call the local MU Extension Center in the county that you choose to visit, for additional information.

Dear Annie: A friend and I enjoy shopping for clothes together. We always have fun. Over the past few years, she has put on weight. Objectively, she has become obese. That doesn't matter to me. But here is the problem now. Every time she tries on new clothes, she asks me, "Does this make me look fat?" The clothes don't make her look any fatter than she is. So I just say "no" and leave it at that. But the question makes me uncomfortable because I worry that I am not being totally honest. What should I say? -- Feeling Awkward Dear Feeling Awkward: Take this as your friend's asking whether the clothes flatter her or not, and be honest so you can help her pick outfits that look good on her. If she persistently asks whether she looks fat, you could ask her whether that's a concern for her and then let her lead the conversation from there. Dear Annie: A while ago, you had a poll asking people whether they'd decide to have kids if they could go back in time. The following response is specifically directed toward

women. I have spent my whole life believing in love and faith, only to have it challenged at every level. If you are ready to sacrifice yourself for the betterment of others, then by all means have children. If you don't think you want to do that, don't have kids. Your choice, but get the facts before you take the plunge. No one tells you how hard it's going to be, and there is no pamphlet out there that can prepare you for the rough road ahead if you decide to have kids. Go in with eyes wideopen. And if you think you can handle it, just wait and see what life throws at you. You'd better have lots of money, patience and fortitude and a selfsacrificing nature, or you will have regrets aplenty. I won't saddle you with the thousands of things that can go wrong, but believe me, there will always be something to challenge you. I am not sure good moments outweigh the rest. Motherhood is the most underappreciated job on earth. Good luck in whatever you decide. You can't give them back, so make sure you want

them. -- Tired Dear Tired: I won't argue with you that moms work incredibly hard, often without thanks. But not having children is not a guarantee for a smooth road. There will be bumps in our paths, no matter which path we take. It's how we react to them that counts. Dear Annie: Three of my uncles passed away in 1997 in widely separated locations across the country, none of them near the town where they grew up. I submitted a triple obituary after the last death to newspapers close to where they grew up. Three area newspapers printed the story. It seems to me that someone annually submitted a historical death notice for King Harold II, who died at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Based on this, it is safe to say that there is no time limit on obituaries or death notices. -- History Buff Dear History Buff: I always appreciate a little history lesson. Thanks for writing.

Too soon
Mainstream scientists say it’s premature to make gene-edited babies — and stock analysts say it’s too early for most investors to bet on companies trying to develop the technology used to make them. There are a few companies working to use the gene-editing technique, known by the acronym CRISPR, to develop treatments to fight diseases. And it’s a promising approach, despite the negative reaction to a recent claim by a Chinese researcher that he helped make the world’s first gene-edited babies. But there are “risks stacked 10
deep” for gene-editing companies such as CRISPR Therapeutics, Editas Medicine and Intellia Therapeutics, says Steve Brozak, president of WBB Securities. They are still trying to figure out how to alter human genes predictably, without unforeseen bad effects, not to mention the pitfalls of clinical trials and regulatory approval. Brozak notes these companies have little revenue, are years from possibly having any products to sell and are expected to continue losing money for the foreseeable future. “For the individual investor,” Brozak warns, “these are highly dangerous.”
Risky business: A Chinese scientist’s claim he used gene-editing technology to try making twin babies resistant to HIV infection raised a furor — and interest in the field. But companies developing such technology are far from making products or profits. ©2018 Tribune Content Agency, LLC All Rights Reserved.

Something To Think About VINCE NEAL DIRECTOR
DYING WITHOUT A WILL If a person has not prepared a valid will, he or she is said to have died INTESTATE. In cases of intestacy where there are heirs, the state will distribute the property in the estate according to state laws. It is as if the state legislature had written your will for you. It may have some sensible, logical provisions, but the liklihood of the state actually anticipating your wishes is extremely remote. The law is flexible; it provides only one set of guidelines for ALL the citizens of the state. The law in this regard also varies from state to state and few peo-
ple, with the exception of certain lawyers, bankers, legislators, etc., actually know what these provisions are. The only way to be sure that your wishes are followed is to leave a valid will behind. Three out of four people do not! Don’t be one of them. Consult with your lawyer if you haven’t already.
